Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS)

The Greater Southwest Region Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) offers federal agencies and the military value-added, customized acquisition, project management and financial management services designed to get the outcome they need to meet their agency goals. Many agencies and the military do not have contracting staff - or have too much work for their existing staff to handle.
